^ as long as you have enough solid metal there and not rust...
If you don't have a welder available to you, I've found that the panel bonding epoxy you can get at body shops works well, just make sure its clamped well.

Since he said he was thinking of but welding it first I was assuming that he will be cutting out the rust until he is left with solid steel.

Even easier and cheaper would be to leave a 1" lip and just drill and rivet the panel in place. Slap some sealant on it and you're good to go.

You could just do spot welds with it and seam seal it with flux. Drill a small hole in the one layer and just plunk a bead of weld in the hole. Seam seal it to keep the water out. Marginally better than rivets.

Great, I'll probably just use Everlast's if possible. Since I'm already familiar with O/A welding.

Question regarding the blower not working.

Fuse 20 blows if I turn on the fan, regardless of temp control setting. The higher the fan speed I set it to, the faster the fuse blows. (on fan speed 4, it goes instantly!) I've traced some of the wires, but haven't found any shorts.

Airplanes use rivets though! :p

Look on Kijiji, sometimes theres ad that people will come over to your house and weld for the cheap side. Might be something to look at.
